I think that one thing that could be good is that the Select Data Providers dialog, when placing elements on a form, we could have textbox to provide a prefix for the fields. So if we use the Fill Name Property check box a prefix be added to the name.

I have a list of feature requests as well. Tried logging in on the suggested site but somehow the password I use seems useless.
